FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CUYAHOGA RIVER FIRE
Q: What is the Cuyahoga River fire? A: “The Cuyahoga River Fire” refers to any one of at least a dozen times that the Cuyahoga River caught on fire between 1868 and 1969.
Q: What did the Cuyahoga River fire smell like? A: After extensive research we have decided that it smelled like a delicious, chocolate-and-peanut butter buckeye, which is a kind of candy that's popular in Ohio. Just try to prove us wrong!
Q: What is on the surface of the candle? A: That's the tugboat Arizona, which was destroyed in 1952 after an oil slick floating down the river (!) caught on fire. A photo of the scene later appeared in Time magazine, because nothing sells magazines like a photo of a tugboat on fire. That is how much people hate tugboats
Q: What should I do if a river catches on fire? A: To a large extent that depends on whether or not you're a firefighter.
Q: I'm thinking about getting this candle as a gift for a Clevelander. Is this candle offensive to Clevelanders? A: Boy, we sure hope not.
Got it for my apush teacher. He appreciated the reference. Looks exactly the same as the photos.

It does not smell like fire
If I could read I'd have realized that this smells like peanut butter rather than diesel.

Finally, the candle I've been looking for!
This candle is perfect for those Clean Water Act anniversary parties that one attends. It's a perfect reminder of why we decided (finally) to quit gassing up our drinking supplies!
